Food and the people behind it

Uzbekistan does not start with a menu. It starts with the people who invite you to the table

Demonstrations, hands-on lessons and clear dietary options with hosts we meet in person. Not only restaurants.

No payment at this step

Who this is for

Couples, friends and solo travellers for whom food matters more than the number of monuments
Chefs, restaurateurs and food writers who need processes and raw materials, not a tasting tour
Guests with dietary needs who want them confirmed in writing

What you get

Who it will not suit

Those looking for a long list of restaurants to tick off
Guests who want alcohol-centred tastings — the formats are built around food
Anyone expecting “exclusive family visits” — we publish only what hosts have agreed to

Programmes for you

Host details appear on a programme only after their consent
Programme stages (concept, validation, pilot) are shown openly until hosts are confirmed
Transfer hours per day are shown on every programme

4 team members are listed with languages and specialisation. Meet the team

Services are reserved after you confirm the proposal, not at the estimate step.

Can you handle allergies, halal or vegetarian menus?

Yes — write them in the request. We confirm with each host in writing and do not promise what a kitchen cannot provide.

Will I cook myself?

Each programme says what is a demonstration and what is hands-on. Tell us the balance you want.

Can a professional book this?

Yes. Professional formats start with a short brief so the time with producers is useful work, not a tour.

Dates, who is travelling and what matters most — you receive an itinerary, a total and the terms before any payment.
